NEWS FROM KENYA
AHERO | Bro Lawrence M K’owiti
I’ve not been in contact for quite some time due to case with box rental fees. It’s nice once again to read from the brotherhood across the globe and to fellowship together with their causes. It’s wonderful to see the word reach all corners of the world and many prayers of goodwill to the Carelinks for the tireless work in the mission. Bravo Brethren Duncan and Marcus together with the donors, may God bless you ALL.
If for any reason we can’t meet up in Kenya, let’s meet in the Lord’s coming Kingdom.

Truly brother you have revived my spirit again, since my mother died. I have suffered a lot, but through your prayer and the literature you sent me you have encouraged and strengthened and I have greater hope in our bond with Jesus who is giving me confidence and helping me in my life.

Three weeks ago there was an attack at Green Light and Kakuma secondary schools made by students from Nubian mixed with Darfourian tribes (Sudanese) and from Dinka tribe (South Sudanese) who are not studying because of lack of school fees - to attack students in class at school who are paying the school fees and teachers. They had machetes and sticks in their hands. They injured many students who were admitted in Kakuma hospital. Those with severe injuries were transferred to Nairobi hospital for leg surgery. One woman, a Kenyan teacher at Kakuma has died.
Bro Innocent Baruani and Lovis Mbongo, both of them from Kibera ecclesia in Nairobi, visited Kakuma. On the Saturday morning Bro Lovis Mbongo taught about “Understanding the Psalms” a book divided into five books – compared to the five books of Moses in the Old Testament. They provided a lunch and in the afternoon Bro Innocent Baruani taught about “The four women mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus”. On the Sunday we started with a Breaking of Bread service, then after that Bro Innocent Baruani taught about “The False Prophets”, which finished at 4pm when we sung and closed the fraternal meeting with prayer thanking God. Many friends asked questions which were well answered.
We later received this letter from Bro Isidore:
Dear Bro Marcus,
I and my family also the brethren and sisters are healthy today. Yesterday evening at 5pm there was a conflict at the football ground in Kakuma 4 camp area during a match, which resulted in a clash between two clans of Nuer South Sudanese tribes. They came to the graveyard area where they battled and three people died. They had sticks, machetes and spears in their hands. We kept our children in our home until 7pm when the police and soldiers scattered the fighters. This morning we heard that the cause is not the football but the past hatred killing between the two Nuer clans.
The police tried to scatter them and have jailed some of them. This past night the police and soldiers patrolled and nothing bad happened, we slept and awoke well this morning. But the situation is not good as those who lost their people in the battle want revenge.
Please continue remembering us in your prayers to our Heavenly Father.

SINDO | Bro John Owalo Onani
There is a great need for us as God’s family through baptism to live according to God’s way of life. The book of Deuteronomy reveals God’s love to the children of Israel and how difficult to learn and observe the journey towards the Kingdom of God and salvation promised. The command of love is the greatest and requires a completely contrite, devout heart to obey and be humble towards our salvation. Deuteronomy 6:5: “And you shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might.” See also Mark 12:30,31.
The love must be in action. You loved me so much since 1999. Nineteen years of spiritual nourishment. You have maintained your first love. I have also made a serious effort to play my part. Through your prayer and spiritual guidance two of my sons were baptized into the Christadelphian faith.
Through God’s grace in 2008 I met your son Duncan in Nairobi, Kenya on his way to an African country. Therefore Brother Marcus may the God of our fathers take care of us for the year 2019 in being strong witnesses to the Truth. John 15:12: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” Let us continue in doing the work of the Gospel News until he comes to reward us with eternal life and inheritance on the earth.
